《Best Of Me》是加拿大“城市琴人”丹尼尔•波特(Daniel Powter)的第七支单曲。《Best Of Me》MV中丹尼尔•波特在钢琴前自弹自唱,同时身后的背景不断变化,背景图片的主要内容是:老照片、风景和一些反应生活细节的小物品。
加拿大吟唱诗人Daniel Powter,是外表与内在兼备的全能歌手,他可以说是“一曲成名”,这里的“曲”指《Bad day》。他的钢琴功底非常深厚,唱腔也有点英伦的感觉!他的风格某种程度上和Remy Shand有些相似,除了稍带灵魂乐风之外。他的歌中又适当加入了其他音乐元素,使每首歌都呈现出了极其个性化的“inner ego”。值得一提的是,Daniel Powter驾驭自如的真假音,使每首歌跌宕起伏而不沦于单调。
I was made the wrong way
Won’t you do me the right way?
Where you gonna be tonight?
Cause I won’t stay too long
Maybe you’re the life of me
When you talk to me it strikes me
Won’t somebody help me?
Cause I don’t feel too strong
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
Or the combination of both that did me in?
You know I’m hoping you’ll sing along
Though it’s not your favorite song
Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby that’s the best of me
Everything’s behind you
But the hopeless signs beside you
I’m living in the moment
Have I wasted all of your time?
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
Or the combination of both that did me in?
You know I’m hoping you’ll sing along
Though it’s not your favorite song
Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby that’s the best of me
Baby that’s the best of me
You know I’m hoping you’ll sing along
Though it’s not your favorite song
Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby that’s the best of me
我曾迷失了方向
请为我指路引航
今夜你将去往何方
因为我不会久留
或许命中注定是你
让我甘愿心力交瘁
请助我一臂之力
因为我不想故作坚强
是因为我曾说过的话?
是因为我曾做过的事?
还是两者皆有让我身陷此境
你知道我希望你纵情歌唱
即使我曲终神伤
不想等到四目相顾却无言以对
我们那些美妙瞬间时时闪现
如果是这样你需要朋友陪伴
当你不需要我时我会转身离去
我痛恨最终从记忆中被抹去
但是亲爱的那是最好的我
你将一切抛却身后
但绝望却伴你左右
我活在当下
我是否浪费了你的时间?
是因为我曾说过的话?
是因为我曾做过的事?
还是两者皆有让我身陷此境
你知道我希望你纵情歌唱
即使我曲终神伤
不想等到四目相顾却无言以对
我们那些美妙瞬间时时闪现
如果是这样你需要朋友陪伴
当你不需要我时我会转身离去
我痛恨被最终从记忆中抹去
但是亲爱的那是最好的我
亲爱的那是最好的我
你知道我希望你纵情歌唱
即使我曲终神伤
不想等到四目相顾却无言以对
我们那些美妙瞬间时时闪现
如果是这样你需要朋友陪伴
当你不需要我时我会转身离去
我痛恨被最终从记忆中抹去
但是亲爱的那是最好的我
